Ollama seems fine to me, technically. it works. why wouldn't someone use it? Because someone else doesn't like it? if it cost money, I'd pay more attention to the people behind it, but I don't, so I don't. I wis

plain .txt files don't have titles, so these files don't have titles, either. unless it's in the text of the file. you get to any file by following the filesystem path whose bytes match the content you are looking for. Ther

There's an associated video on youtube somewhere, but no it doesn't do that. you're close, though. if you drill down into the right folders, it contains every possible text file up to a certain size. He uses a weird 70 char

I like this. Some binary running on a computer serving these up to a FUSE mount would stop a corporate disk scanner in its tracks (at least whatever thread happens upon the location this is mounted.) I might have a go writing something lik

ya gotta have a vibe for everything if you want to compare vibes, though. you can't just have a vibe for fable 5 alone AND say that it's better than anything out there. there's no weight in that verdict at all, no meaning.

ah, a rare step closer to plan9. (you remote into a system and part of your environment comes with you; that's very Plan9-like.)

As an American with autism, I see it too. Small talk is all lies. Almost all praise is fake. And it all drives me insane. I can fit in at work just fine, I can appear joyful and excited to come to work, I have 30 years of practice with i

you described end-to-end latency, input latency + processing latency + output latency. input latency is a measure of latency between the human input and the computer receiving the input. output latency measures the time between a computer c

None. It introduces output latency, not input latency.

Code is “a means to an end” in the same way that children are. But do we let ourselves loose awful people unto the world simply because they spread their genes as well as any well-behaved children? No we don’t. Society has rules and a lot

it is amazing to me that the data collected by things like this is valuable enough to even consider implementing these things. advertising really has gotten well out of control. advertisers keep escalating, and i don't think that will

I have a Windows ARM pc at work (in a drawer) and it is much better on power. The problem is that they shrank the battery so windows has the same 2hr battery life. Dumbest decision ever, Dell. Dumbest decision ever.

There are 15W intel CPUs and .. they suck. Idle, windows and corporate “stuff” will put that at 75% utilization with no input from the user other than simply logging on. And the fan starts about 30s in and never stops. It’s embarrassing

I agree completely. Look at Plan 9, if you haven't. I can open a window, add/remove things from its environment (via mounting and unmounting files into that window's namespace) seal that environment to prevent changes, the

Nothing like copying someone else’s shit when you want to avoid thinking of new things for an operating system. You could be more like Plan9, Linux. You could actually innovate and create new paradigms that make people look at MacOS and Wi

The chance of a UUIDv4 collision is very low, but it is never zero. If everything is done properly, then this is very likely the one and only time anyone involved in the telling or reading of this account will ever experience this.
